How to Deploy Cyber Protection Agent

Good day,

So methods that I have personally used for mass deployment are as follows:

1. Deployed the software using the customers own software deployment solution (I have used GFI, Panda etc) and then registering via tokens. This did have some headaches in the beginning but was quick to sort out.

2. The MSI method also worked well with pre-registering the agent before hand during the setup of the agent, this is in my opinion the best way of mass deploying as it can also be pushed out via GPO or a software deployment solution

3. One of the newer ways of deploying (But only works on Windows) is to use the "Multiple Devices" deployment within the console. This will allow you to search AD, scan the local network or specify manually or import from a file. I have not used this method a lot but the times I have used it it also works very well.

It becomes more complex if you want each user to have their own tenant/folder but the way I deploy is I have a admin account for the customer which gets assigned to the technical lead (generally the technical manager) and then sub admin accounts for the technical staff which they can login and manage the backups.

I hope this helps you a little bit,

Regards

So, with #3, we are indeed working with Windows.  Problem is, we don't have a central server at each of our customers' sites.  At best, they all have AzureAD-joined Win10 machines so, there's no PCD on-site.  Because of this, we use the Acronis Cyber Cloud portal.  So, I don't think that we can use this new method anyway.

#2 looks like our best option.  It's what I was looking at anyway.  I can deploy it, with a vanilla MST that is set up without any user info, and during our typical setup, we can have the user open the agent and register the machine under their account.
